You Can Help Create a Healthier Future

New ideas are critical to creating a healthier future and research is a way to discover new ideas that can have a positive impact on the health of this community and beyond. As we think about how to help people get and stay healthy, we need to see what works and what doesn't. Is a promising new treatment effective? Can it change health outcomes? Even save lives?

At the University of Rochester Medical Center we find the answers through safe, clinical trials and studies. Most studies need a certain number of people to participate in order to find the right answer, and we would welcome you as a volunteer... yes, you!
